There is no opposite. Hydraulic refers to liquid; an alternative would be "pneumatic,' which refers to gas.

What is the diagram of the hydraulic 4way valve?

A hydraulic 4-way valve controls the flow of hydraulic fluid in a system by directing it to different ports. The diagram typically features four ports: two for the inlet and outlet of the pump and two for the actuator (cylinder or motor). The valve can be in different positions, allowing fluid to flow in one direction or the opposite, facilitating the extension and retraction of a hydraulic cylinder. Symbols representing the valve's ports and the flow paths are commonly used in hydraulic schematics.


What is the difference between hydraulic motors and pumps?

A hydraulic pump uses an external mechanical force to pressurize the hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic motor uses the pressurized hydraulic fluid to apply a mechanical force an external machine. See the difference between a pump and a motor.


Why do hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area?

Hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area to magnify the pressure delivered to the opposite end. This is vindicated by the formula Pressure = Force per unit Area.


What is the opposite of a pulley?

There is no opposite machine to a pulley. However, a jack or hydraulic lift essentially does the reverse, lifting from below rather than from above.

What is a hydraulic check valve do?

A hydraulic check valve is a device that allows fluid to flow in one direction while preventing backflow in the opposite direction. It operates automatically based on fluid pressure, opening to permit flow when pressure is present in the forward direction and closing when there is reverse flow. This function is crucial for maintaining system pressure, protecting equipment, and ensuring efficient operation in hydraulic systems.
